Cali Coast is a custom map based initially off the San Francisco map. It has many improvements over the SF map. Enjoy!

Features:

  • Based on San Francisco Map using the Barrier Island climate
  • Many new bays and bluffs added to the shorelines for more interesting places to build
  • More resources added in larger distinct areas rather than scattered in small pockets
  • Elevations modified to add interest
  • Several lakes with waterfalls that drain into streams that drain to the sea
  • Lakes that are ideal for damming, especially the upper one that flows into a lower one. It has a natural bowl

that would support a large dam if you dam across the upper waterfall.

  • One single highway entering the map along with a narrow coast road that follows the coast back south
  • Two other road entrances on north bluffs with a potential to build outlying towns or build bridges to them
  • Train line up to the starting tile
  • Care taken to ensure existing roads follow the terrain and are cut into it only where necessary
  • A couple of long beach areas that could make nice resorts
  • Extra wildlife spawning points added
  • Limits of map carefully worked to prevent the look of the map or roads just disappearing at the edges

when zoomed right out

  • Two relatively flat areas perfect for the international airport that don't require initial landscaping
  • Loads more trees added

If you think of any more ways this map could be improved please let me know and I'll release a new version at

some point in the near future.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Code mods go into the Mods folder inside the game directory and must be enabled from the in-game Mods menu.
